[PATCH] de2104x: disable autonegotiation on broken hardware

From: Ondrej Zary
Date: Thu Sep 23 2010 - 16:59:36 EST


At least on older 21041-AA chips (mine is rev. 11), TP duplex autonegotiation
causes the card not to work at all (link is up but no packets are transmitted).

de4x5 disables autonegotiation completely. But it seems to work on newer
(21041-PA rev. 21) so disable it only on rev<20 chips.
